I Never Knew

I NEVER thought I would adopt a child from China.

I never considered adoption.

I never thought about having a trans-racial family.

I never imagined that I would be a mother of many.

I never knew the joy that would come from following God's call.

Isaiah 30:21

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

I know that if God wants us to adopt this boy who has captured our hearts, then He will go before us.

I know that we are VERY excited.

I know that we are cautiously optimistic because there are many hills to climb and mountains to conquer.

I know where I want to go for my 25th wedding anniversary.

CHINA!

    Thank you for your sweet comment.... your family is beautiful and hopes for one more? That is awesome! I thought China had a limit on how many children you could have at home? Is that true? I would love to adopt a little boy from China :) Let me know what you know about the process. Thanks!

    Blessings~

    Here a waiver, there a waiver, everywhere a waiver! God is in control of all that. So far, everyone up the line is in favor of us proceeding. Only God!
